(To Prospectus Dated February 9, 2016)

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation
1,000,000 Depositary Shares
Each representing a 1/100th Interest in a Share of
Series F Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

Each of the 1,000,000 depositary shares offered hereby (the "depositary shares") represents a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of Series F Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred
Stock, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share (the "Series F Preferred Stock"), of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, deposited with Computershare Inc. and
Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as joint depositary. The depositary shares are evidenced by depositary receipts. As a holder of the depositary shares, you are entitled to all
proportional rights and preferences of the Series F Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). You must exercise such rights through the depositary.
We will pay dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock only when, as and if declared by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board) and to the extent that
we have legally available funds to pay dividends. Dividends will accrue on the liquidation amount of $100,000 per share of the Series F Preferred Stock at a rate per annum equal to
(i) 4.625% from the original issue date of the Series F Preferred Stock to but excluding September 20, 2026; and (ii) a floating rate equal to Three-month LIBOR (as defined elsewhere
in this prospectus supplement) plus 3.131% from and including September 20, 2026. Fixed rate dividends will be payable in arrears on March 20 and September 20 of each year,
commencing on March 20, 2017, through and including September 20, 2026, and floating rate dividends will be payable in arrears on March 20, June 20, September 20 and December 20
of each year, commencing on December 20, 2026. Payment of dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock is subject to certain legal, regulatory and other restrictions as described
elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.
We may, at our option, redeem the shares of Series F Preferred Stock (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date (as that term is defined elsewhere in
this prospectus supplement) on or after the dividend payment date in September 2026 or (ii) in whole but not in part at any time within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Treatment
Event (as defined elsewhere in this prospectus supplement), in each case, at a cash redemption price of $100,000 per share (equivalent to $1,000 per depositary share), plus any declared
and unpaid dividends, without regard to any undeclared dividends, to but excluding the redemption date. If we redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, the depositary will redeem a
proportionate number of depositary shares. The Series F Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights except as described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement.
Neither the Series F Preferred Stock nor the depositary shares will be savings accounts, deposits or other obligations of any of our bank or non-bank subsidiaries and will not be
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality.
Investing in the depositary shares and the underlying Series F Preferred Stock involves risks. See "Risk Factors " beginning on
page S-6 to read about factors you should consider before buying the depositary shares.

with the original shares for tax purposes.

September 20, 2026, and (ii) each March 20, June 20,

Form 424B2 - Series F Final Prospectus Supplement

Any such dividends will be distributed to holders of the depositary shares in the manner
described under "Description of the Series F Preferred Stock--Dividends" below.

Dividends on shares of the Series F Preferred Stock will not be cumulative and will not
be mandatory. If for any reason our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee
of the board) does not declare a dividend on the Series F Preferred Stock in respect of a
dividend period (as defined under "Description of the Series F Preferred Stock--
Dividends"), then no dividend shall be deemed to have accrued for such dividend
period, be payable on the applicable dividend payment date, or accumulate, and we will
have no obligation to pay any dividend for that dividend period, whether or not
dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock are declared for any future dividend period.

Payment of dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock is subject to certain legal,
regulatory and other restrictions described under "Description of the Series F Preferred
Stock--Restrictions on dividends" below.

plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to any undeclared dividends, to
but excluding the redemption date, on the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock called
for redemption. Neither the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock nor holders of
depositary shares will have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the

Stock--Redemption" below. Under capital adequacy rules currently applicable to us,
any redemption of the Series F Preferred Stock would be subject to prior approval of the

shares will have the right to require redemption.

Stock--Voting rights" below. Holders of depositary shares must act through the

depositary to exercise any voting rights, as described under "Description of the

Ranking:
Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock will rank senior to our common stock and all
other junior stock, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred
Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, and senior to or on
a parity with each other series of our preferred stock we may issue (except for any
senior series that may be issued upon the requisite vote or consent of the holders of at
least two thirds of the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and
entitled to vote and the requisite vote or consent of all other series of preferred stock)
with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions of assets upon any
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.

We will generally be able to pay dividends and distributions upon any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up only out of funds legally available for such payment (i.e., after
taking account of all indebtedness and other non-equity claims) and pro rata as to the
Series F Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the
Series D Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and any other stock designated as
ranking on a parity with the Series F Preferred Stock as to payment of dividends
("dividend parity stock").

The Series F Preferred Stock does not have any maturity date, and we are not required
to redeem the Series F Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series F Preferred Stock will
remain outstanding indefinitely, unless and until we decide to redeem it.

None.

No Listing:

any securities exchange or automated quotation system.

RISK FACTORS
Your investment in the depositary shares involves certain risks, not all of which are described in this prospectus supplement, some of which
relate to the Series F Preferred Stock and/or the depositary shares and others of which relate to the Company. You should carefully consider the
risks described below and the risk factors included in our Form 10-K, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results
of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price of our depositary shares could decline due to any of
these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement also contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The risks
and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently
deem immaterial may also impair our business or operations. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results could
result in a decline in the value of the depositary shares and the loss of all or part of your investment.
The depositary shares are fractional interests in the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock.
We are issuing fractional interests in shares of the Series F Preferred Stock in the form of depositary shares. Accordingly, the depositary will
rely on the payments it receives on the Series F Preferred Stock to fund all payments on the depositary shares. You should carefully review the
information in the accompanying prospectus and in this prospectus supplement regarding both of these securities.
Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock will be discretionary and noncumulative, and may not be paid if such payment will result in our
failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock will be discretionary and noncumulative. Consequently, if our board of directors (or any duly
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1390777/000119312516658060/d198500d424b2.htm[7/27/2016 11:30:10 AM]

Form 424B2 - Series F Final Prospectus Supplement
authorized committee of the board) does not authorize and declare a dividend on Series F Preferred Stock for any dividend period, holders of the
depositary shares will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that dividend period, and the unpaid dividend will cease to accrue and be payable.
We will have no obligation to pay dividends accrued for a dividend period after the dividend payment date for that period if our board of directors
(or any duly authorized committee thereof) has not declared a dividend before the related dividend payment date, whether or not dividends on the
Series F Preferred Stock or any other series of our preferred stock or our common stock are declared for any future dividend period.
In addition, if payment of dividends on Series F Preferred Stock for any dividend period would cause us to fail to comply with any applicable
law or regulation, we will not declare or pay a dividend for such dividend period. In such a case, holders of the depositary shares will not be
entitled to receive any dividend for that dividend period, and the unpaid dividend will cease to accrue and be payable.
Under the FRB's capital rules, dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock may only be paid out of our net income, retained earnings or surplus
related to other additional tier 1 capital instruments. In addition, the FRB's capital rules include a capital conservation buffer and a surcharge for
U.S. global systemically important banks ("G-SIBs"), which are being phased in from January 1, 2016 through January 1, 2019. The FRB's capital
rules also include a countercyclical capital buffer, which is currently set at zero. The buffers and surcharge can be satisfied only with CET1 capital.
If BNY Mellon's risk-based capital ratios do not satisfy minimum requirements plus the combined capital conservation buffer and G-SIB surcharge
(as well as the countercyclical capital buffer, when applied), BNY Mellon will face graduated constraints on, among other things, capital
distributions (including dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock) based on the amount of the shortfall. The FRB has also proposed rules to
establish total loss-absorbing capacity ("TLAC") for U.S.-GSIBs. The proposal included a

Table of Contents
buffer to the minimum TLAC requirement, which must consist only of CET1, and breaching this buffer would result in graduated constraints on,
among other things, capital distributions based on the amount of the shortfall. Under the FRB's capital plan rule and its Comprehensive Capital
Analysis and Review process known as "CCAR", with limited exceptions BNY Mellon may pay dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock only if
such dividends or other discretionary distributions are included in a capital plan as to which the FRB has not issued an objection.
The Series F Preferred Stock will be an equity security and will be subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness.
The shares of the Series F Preferred Stock will be equity interests in The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and will not constitute
indebtedness. This means that the Series F Preferred Stock and the related depositary shares will rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness
and other non-equity claims on us with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on us, including claims in the event of our liquidation. As of
June 30, 2016, the Company's long-term debt, on a consolidated basis, was approximately $23.6 billion, and we may incur additional indebtedness
in the future. Our future indebtedness may restrict payment of dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock.
Additionally, unlike indebtedness, where principal and interest customarily are payable on specified due dates, in the case of preferred stock
like the Series F Preferred Stock, (1) dividends will be payable only if declared by our board of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the
board); (2) dividends will not accumulate if they are not declared; and (3) as a Delaware corporation, we may make dividend payments and
redemption payments only out of funds legally available under Delaware law. As a bank holding company, our ability to declare and pay dividends
is also dependent on certain federal regulatory considerations. Further, the Series F Preferred Stock will place no restrictions on our business or
operations or on our ability to incur indebtedness or engage in any transactions, subject only to certain restrictions on payments of dividends and
redemption or repurchase of dividend parity stock and junior stock described under "Description of Series F Preferred Stock--Restrictions on
dividends" and the limited voting rights referred to below under "Description of Series F Preferred Stock--Voting rights."
The Series F Preferred Stock may be junior in rights and preferences to future preferred stock.
The Series F Preferred Stock may be junior to preferred stock we issue in the future that by its terms is expressly senior to the Series F
Preferred Stock, upon the vote or consent of the holders of at least two thirds of the shares of the Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding
and entitled to vote and the requisite vote or consent of all other classes or series of our stock that ranks equally with the Series F Preferred Stock
as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and/or the payment of dividends. The terms of any future preferred stock
expressly senior to the Series F Preferred Stock may restrict dividend payments on the Series F Preferred Stock. In this case, unless full dividends
for all outstanding preferred stock senior to the Series F Preferred Stock have been declared and paid or set aside for payment, no dividends will be
declared or paid and no distribution will be made on any shares of the Series F Preferred Stock, and no shares of the Series F Preferred Stock will
be permitted to be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired by us, directly or indirectly, for consideration. This could result in dividends on
the Series F Preferred Stock not being paid to you.
We are a non-operating holding company, and as a result, are dependent on dividends from our subsidiaries, including our principal
subsidiary banks, to meet our obligations, including our obligations with respect to our securities, and to provide funds for payment of
dividends to our stockholders and stock repurchases.
